                         THE GINGRICH MANIFESTO

  (Mr. SKAGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SKAGGS. Mr. Speaker, we now have seen the Gingrich manifesto--the 
contract. This is an incredible proposal to redistribute wealth--up. It 
stakes out new depths for cynicism and political pathology by promising 
to deceive the American people. What a thing to behold. The gentleman 
from Georgia [Mr. Gingrich] rallying his troops to restore America's 
wealth to the wealthy. It was a little scary to watch the shock troops 
of the Gingrich revolution marching up in lockstep to sign the 
manifesto. Slightly Orwellian to see so many fine, young, earnest 
Republican candidates give up so freely their individuality and their 
creativity for the chilling uniformity of Newt-speak.
